For Birth Control "I've been on this pill for 9 years and started looking on this page because I was told I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a heart murmur, and possibly lymphoma. I was just interested in the side effects. I don't know that my birth control has caused it, but I'm healthy and 29. I eat healthy and exercise. My current weight is 101. I've never had weight issues with the pill and never had bad cramps. Periods have always been easy. I do get a full period if I miss just one pill, which I'm hearing isn't normal, but it's what my body does. Overall, I have been satisfied with this pill, just wondering now what long-term effects could be."

For Birth Control "So far, I haven't really had issues with this birth control yet, and I have been using it for 3 months. The main issue I had is that it made my back break out more than usual, but it seems like it's getting better now. I take it at night, so it doesn't make me have any nausea. My periods are still not regulated normally with it yet, but I have noticed they have gotten lighter, yet, they are still painful."

For Birth Control "I have not had a good experience with this brand. Like others, I used to take Necon, which I liked, then got switched to this brand. Since the switch, I have noticed an increase in anxiety and mild depression. I am a teacher, so that comes with enough stress. This medication seemed to worsen it. I have never experienced such high levels of anxiety. After reading the reviews of this medication, I see now how it can affect some people. I am not going to continue with this brand."

For Birth Control "Like most, I was taking Necon, which was discontinued, so Nortrel was/is its replacement. Nortrel has been the worst experience ever, especially days before and during my cycle. Per my experience (migraines, nausea, and stomach cramps that feel like something is ripping it apart), all of which I didn't experience before, I don't think this drug is safe. I don't have cysts, but the side effects of this drug are sure to cause some problems. I've decided to have my doctor change my prescription."

For Birth Control "So my OB just started me on this medication because I have ovarian cysts. I've had birth control in the past, and I've never felt any side effects, unlike Nortrel. I've had the WORST nausea ever. Keep in mind I'm in my first week on this medication. I couldn't find the reason for what was causing the nausea until I looked up the medication, and BAM! Sure enough, it's this damn medication that's making me feel this way. I already suffer from anxiety/depression as it is, but with this medication, it's 10x worse. Low sex drive. I cannot wait until my doctor's office opens so I can call and let them know, hopefully, they will change it. Overall, SUCH A HORRIBLE MEDICATION. Do not take if you are very sensitive."

For Birth Control "I have been on this pill for only 4 days, and I can't stress enough... DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I used to take Necon and had a really great experience. However, my insurance switched me to Nortrel, and I seriously wish I had read reviews before starting it. I am having constant stomach pain and mood swings. I already suffer from anxiety, and somehow this medication has made it SO much worse. I am going from nervous to happy to depressed within a matter of minutes. This stuff is horrible, and I am switching ASAP. Be warned, ladies."

For Birth Control "I'm very emotional and depressed. I feel low. All I want to do is lay down and eat. I've been sleeping longer. I have no energy. It's making my endo cramps worse. Just horrible. I haven't been on it long, but I'm feeling worse day by day. I switched to this birth control as the last birth control I was on gave me severe acne. And when I stopped, it started to clear up."

For Birth Control "Terrible anxiety, depression, mood swings with this brand of birth control. I've taken various forms of birth control for 16 years, this pill felt different. Felt awful on it, would not recommend."
